Just for your information the Siam Paragon consists of six floors. Many of the world’s international luxury brands like Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Prada have stores in this modern and clean shopping center. Whether you come for Louis Vuitton to H&M to Lamborghini, or for new makeup or a £300,000 sports car, this shopping center has it all. On the first floor you’ll find a Bentley and a Lamborghini showroom, just in case you had a good month’s pay. And on the lower ground floor there you will find the massive Gourmet Market and the biggest food court.


Hope you enjoyed this post as much as i enjoyed to photograph all these lovely fruits, vegetables and seafood's. For more food , adventure and travel be sure to follow my next post. Cheers everyone :)

Thank you so much Denise your very kind :)

This has got to be the most incredible post I have gotten today. Truly. The mall is, without a doubt the most beautiful Mall I have ever seen. Hands down.

Bentley and Maserati dealers on the first floor?

I'm sold! The food markets were beyond compare, everything fresh and picked at the perfect moment, with not a stem out of place. Everything in there was jaw-dropping wonderful. I am still in awe.

The fish was another place where my brain could not believe what my eyes were seeing!Honest! The fish, oysters, crab, lobsters!

You are killing me! I thought the candy store was epic. You totally win. I wish there was a prize because you would have to get it. Not because your mall is cool (Oh!It is!!) but because of the care you took when taking the pictures and the story told and how well this was all done. So well done.

Thank you for your support of #MarketFriday and thank you so much for the awesome post! Upvoted and resteemed tip! .2
